To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, MARTIN PA'rRnMio, a citizen of the United States,residing at Lodi, in the county of Bergen and State of N ew Jersey, haveinvented certain new and of which the following is a full, clear, andexact specification.

ihis invention relates to toy rattles, and has for its object to providea rattle with a cylindrical head which is reinforced against beingeasily crushed.

Another object is to protect the decorations on the ends of the head ofthe rattle so that they cannot be rubbed or worn off. Other objects willappear as the description proceeds.

The invention will be first hereinafter described in connection with theaccompanying drawings, which constitute part of this specification` andthen more speciiically defined in the claims at the end of thedescription.

in the accompanying drawings, wherein similar reference characters areused to designate corresponding parts throughout the several viewsFigure 1 is an end view of. a rattle made substantially in accordancewith this invention.

Fig. 2 is a side view of the same, and

Fig. 3 is a central .section through the head of the rattle.

rihe several parts of the rattle are preferably made of Celluloid. Thehandle 1 comprises a celluloid tube which is run through the cylindricalhead 3 and has a knob 4 at its upper end and a loop 2 inserted in itslower end. v

The head il is reinforced by a lining 5 of pasteboard or other suitablelight Inaterial. The ends of the head are formed of disks 6 havinginwardly turned peripheral flanges 7 which overlap and are cemented orotherwise secured to the ends of said head 3.

portion thereof there is formed a depression 10 having annular walls 13extending substantially at right angles thereto. In said depression adecorated disk or panel 12 is fitted and covered by a transparent panell1 of Celluloid. Said panels have inwardly turned flanges around theiredges or peripheries which are cemented or otherwise secured to thewalls 18 of the depression. In this way the central portion of the endsof the head of the rattle are greatly strengthened at the point wherethey are most apt to crack or break in use, and the decorated panels arepreserved intact after much wear.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent of the United States is 1. A rattle having acylindrical head, end disks having peripheral flanges overlapping andsecured to the ends of said head, there being depressions in said diskswith ledges surrounding them, and panels having inwardly turnedperipheral flanges fitted within and secured to said ledges of saiddepressions for the purpose specified.

2. A. rattle having a cylindrical head with the ends thereof providedwith depressions surrounded by annular walls arranged substantially atright angles thereto, and panels having inwardly turned peripheralflanges to fit within said annular walls of the depressions.

3. A rattle having a cylindrical head with the ends thereof providedwith depressions surrounded by annular walls, decorated panels to fit insaid depressions, and transparent panels arranged over said decorate(panels for -the purpose specified, and secured to said annular walls.

4i. A rattle having a cylindrical head with depressions in its ends andconcentric grooves and ribs around said depressions, reinforcing panelsfitted in said depressions, and a reinforcing lining for the bodyportion of the head.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
